Puppet Bolt is an open-source orchestration tool designed to automate manual tasks involved in maintaining infrastructure. It simplifies the process of deploying, configuring, and managing systems by automating repetitive workflows that are typically performed manually.
Key Features:
Task Automation: Enables teams to execute one-off tasks or integrate with broader orchestration workflows.
Agentless Deployment: Connects directly to remote nodes using SSH or WinRM without requiring agent installation.
Integration with Puppet Infrastructure: Seamlessly integrates with existing Puppet environments, allowing users to leverage their current configurations and tools.
Audience & Benefit:
Ideal for DevOps engineers, system administrators, and IT teams looking to streamline infrastructure management. By automating manual processes, Bolt reduces human error, saves time, and enhances operational efficiency. It can be installed via winget for easy setup on local workstations.
README
Bolt is an open source orchestration tool that automates the manual work it takes to maintain your infrastructure. Use Bolt to automate tasks that you perform on an as-needed basis or as part of a greater orchestration workflow. For example, you can use Bolt to patch and update systems, troubleshoot servers, deploy applications, or stop and restart services. Bolt can be installed on your local workstation and connects directly to remote targets with SSH or WinRM, so you are not required to install any agent software.
Bring order to the chaos with orchestration
Run simple plans to rid yourself of the headaches of orchestrating complex workflows. Create and share Bolt plans to easily expand across your application stack.
Use what you have to automate simple tasks or complex workflows
Get going with your existing scripts and plans, including YAML, PowerShell, Bash, Python or Ruby, or reuse content from the Puppet Forge.
